Profile

Bio

I inked my first editorial cartoon when I was fourteen. After cartooning through high school and college (the University of Michigan’s The Michigan Daily and the London School of Economic’s The Beaver) for school papers, I decided to pursue my other passion – international development. I did some cartooning over the past 20 years for local papers (The Takoma Voice, Takoma Park, MD) and at graduate school (at the Kennedy School of Government).

Fifteen years ago I was fortunate enough to have a half dozen cartoons published by The Baltimore Sun and more recently, in the Spring of 2025, spent 6 weeks there as a freelancer, producing 3-5 cartoons per week on (mostly) local issue local issues. I am currently publishing my work in media outlets – e.g., Facebook and Instagram – and have been shopping my work to various syndicates and local/regional media outlets. Finally, I have been doing pro bono work for various nonprofit organizations that seek graphic support for their civic education and citizen engagement work.

I look forward to receiving feedback from AAEC members and viewers of the AAEC website.
